For the Base (or os) section of the CentOS-Base.repo file, the default is: ========================================= [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 ========================================= (note: the mirrorlist line wrapped) So mirrorlist returns a list of 10 geoip (by country) based servers where you can get updates ... here is a way to test: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os (that lists the os update mirrors for your location based on your IP) If you have issues doing updates, I would first do "yum clean all" as root and try again. If that does not work make sure the server can get a list of mirrors from mirrorlist. If your machine does not have a browser, you can print the list in a terminal with: curl "http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os" If you can get a mirrorlist and you are getting errors still, then the issue has something to do with you yum connection to the mirrorlist servers. It could be proxy related, if you have a proxy . more info would be needed. You CAN uncommnet the baseurl, but that is just one host, while mirrorlist gives you ten. > > On 24-5-2015 14:10, Alexander Dalloz wrote: >> Am 24.05.2015 um 13:45 schrieb Tim Semeijn: > >>> >>> Dear, >>> >>> Recently I have noticed that on all my CentOS machines the >>> CentOS-Base.repo file seems to have been modified resulting in >>> all baseurl= lines being commented out. > >> That is the case for a very long time, even if it hasn't be the >> case all the time.
